PGDip in Mechatronics

The Mechatronics post-graduate diploma prepares graduates of an existing engineering technology or science credential for a multidisciplinary specialty that integrates mechanical and electrical engineering with computer and control technologies. Coursework focuses on designing and optimizing complex mechatronic systems and developing project management skills, with a 160-hour work-integrated learning industry project applying these skills to a real workplace problem. Courses can be taken in any order except the final Industry Project course. Graduates who meet eligibility requirements may write the Siemens Mechatronic Systems Certification Program Level 3 exam, adding an industry-recognized credential to their diploma. The program is offered in Winnipeg with evening classes, and can be completed part-time or full-time, with the full-time route taking about eight months, or one academic year. It suits diploma or degree holders in electrical, mechanical, or related engineering fields who want to move into roles designing, integrating, and maintaining automated mechatronic systems.
